Act 300 of 1974
257.1333 Right to receive or see replaced parts; notice; sign at entrance of facility.
Sec. 33.
(1) The administrator shall determine by rule the time and manner in which the motor vehicle repair facility shall return replaced parts to the customer at the time of the completion of the work. This requirement does not apply to parts exempted by the administrator because of size, weight, or similar factors from this requirement, and except for parts that the motor vehicle repair facility or mechanic is required to return to the manufacturer or distributor under a warranty or exchange arrangement. If the parts must be returned to the manufacturer or distributor, the facility or mechanic shall offer to show and upon acceptance of the offer or upon request shall show the parts to the customer upon completion of the work, except the facility shall not be required to show a replacement part when a charge is not being made for the replacement thereof.
(2) A customer shall be informed of his right to receive or see replaced parts as provided in this section prior to the customer executing any document or engaging the facility or mechanic for the work. The information shall be given to the customer on the face of any contract, work order form, or sign, or other document evidencing the engagement of the facility or mechanic or by separate written document, in at least 12 point boldface type as follows:
YOU ARE ENTITLED BY LAW TO THE RETURN OF ALL PARTS REPLACED, EXCEPT THOSE WHICH ARE TOO HEAVY OR LARGE, AND THOSE REQUIRED TO BE SENT BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER OR DISTRIBUTOR BECAUSE OF WARRANTY WORK OR AN EXCHANGE AGREEMENT. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO INSPECT THE PARTS WHICH CANNOT BE RETURNED TO YOU.
(3) The motor vehicle repair facility shall display a clearly legible sign in a conspicuous place at the entrance of the facility indicating that inquiries concerning repair service or complaints may be made to the administrator and shall contain the address and telephone number of the department.
